Chapter 3: Local Administrative Options
Introduction
After you have successfully installed an IP telephone, you might be instructed to administer one
of the options described in this chapter.
Note:
Note: You can modify the settings file to set parameters for IP telephones that
download their upgrade script and application files from the same HTTP server.
See Chapter 4: Maintaining 1600 Series IP Telephones
and “1600 Series IP
Telephone Scripts and Application Files” in Chapter 4 of the Avaya 1600 Series
IP Deskphones Administrator Guide.
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: Perform these procedures only if instructed to do so by the system or LAN
administrator.
Static administration of these options causes upgrades to work differently than if
they are administered dynamically. Values assigned to options in static
administration are not changed by upgrade scripts. These values remain stored
in the telephone until either:
- a new boot file is downloaded, or
- the IP telephone is reset, as indicated in Reset System Values on page 48
.
Use these option-setting procedures only with static addressing and, as always, only
if instructed by the system or LAN administrator. Do not use these option-setting
procedures if you are using DHCP. DHCP is the Dynamic Addressing Process, as
indicated in Dynamic Addressing Process
on page 24.
